I use the station daily during peak hours during my commute and I'd rather the 12 day option as well. The station has been under construction for so long I'd vote for (almost) any option to get it completed quicker. However, I would expect that the closure would happen in the warmer months for...

I agree, but I had a terrible thought recently about the lane ways being narrow, dark, and uninviting. I recall there being discussion that Adam Vaughn would permit the extended height of Musee (21s) and 620 King because of these integrated pedestrian lane ways and the parkette (Musee). I...

I just wanted to share that I have had similar gripes (not equal, but similar) with Freed Development (Six50 King). In going through my recent move in, I also had a painful experience with dealing with service reps and the constraints of Tarion warrenty (i.e. unless it's on the PDI, it's your...

This is my first post on this thread and want to declare my "ignorance". I ride my bike every day to work (from King/Bathurst to Don Mills/Eglington) for the past two year...I've never owned a car my entire life (I'm in my 30's) and consider myself 'green' by living standards. I AGREE with...

I know..I really wished a developer (not Plaza Corp in particular, maybe a collaboration?) would have done something with the existing brick building and really put an honest effort into preserving Old Toronto with New Toronto. The lot was big enough to make another, modern addition and still...

RE: mountain of dirt? From what I hear, they are just checking the soil and it will eventually be leveled off for a parking lot.

They're like the fob from City place and I received 2.....I'm not sure if this is because it's a 2 bedroom unit?

I was one of the first to move in (January 2012) and am still paying occupancy. I haven't received notification stating if the King building has been completed or an application filed with the city. It's still undetermined if the King building will be registered separately from Bathust...

I get that part, but why wouldn't they design the planters so the water goes into a drain rather than fall on the sidewalk below? They could have recycled this water for the next cycle of the irrigation system.

So I'm trying to have a positive out-look here (being a resident and all), but what's the deal with the terraces dripping water on King Street? Pedestrians basically look up, have a pissed look on their face, then walk on the street's curb to side step the falling water. And just making an...

Thanks for the update starks0980. For the King building residents I think this is good news for having the buildings registered separately with the city (i.e. shorter occupancy term) considering there would be two addresses. (?)

Being a resident of the King Building who purchased back in 2007, I'd have to use the word "disappointed" considering the rendition originally presented: a whiter/brighter building with green accents. If I had to purchase in it's current state I probably would shop around first. Freed's 77...

Ya, I had the same feeling when I was observing Six50 King. I signed in Sep 2007 and they didn't put a shovel in the ground until January 2010...which was actually the "official" date of occupancy in the contract. I was one of the first to move in (2nd floor) and it wasn't until January...

I read somewhere that the parkette is expected to be 15% of the lot size. The rendering on the Context website (http://contextkingwest.ca/#siteplan) also show the location of the park being at the SE corner of the 525 lot. ...I'm glad to hear there's a parkette going in but I just wish it...
